Abstract: Objective To study characteristics and current situation of physically restrains (PR) patients in ICU in third-level hospitals.Methods The physical restrains of ICU patients from January to June 2017 in a third-level hospital in Jiangsu Province was prospectively analyzed.Results The usage rate of physical restraint was 69.4％,and the usage number of restraint was 19 ～ 37.5,with median number of 19 times.The proportion of total restraints to total hospitalized restraint was 79.4％.The PR tools and restraint locations were single.The restraint complication occurred 78 times,with the complication rate of 45.7％ (59/129).Conclusion ICU patients have higher body constraint usage,longer constraint time,higher incidence of complications.So the nurses need to strengthen PR-related education and training to reduce the PR usage and complications.
